    Abstract: An online system generates predicted outcomes for a content distribution program that distributes content to users of the online system, the predicted outcome indicating a likelihood for the occurrence of an outcome of a content presentation. The online system transmits the one or more predicted outcomes to the third party system, and receives prediction improvement data from the third party system, the prediction improvement data indicating an adjustment to errors in the predicted outcomes based on a prediction by the third party system. The online system updates the properties of a content distribution program based on the prediction improvement data, the updated content distribution program causing the online system to generate new predicted outcomes based on the prediction improvement data in content presentation opportunities. The online system also transmits content to users of the online system based on the updated content distribution program.

    Abstract: Technology is provided for a device sled with an extension limit latch. The device sled includes a sled chassis having a bottom wall and a sidewall extending between a front sled portion and a rear sled portion. The extension limit latch includes a latch arm having a proximal end portion pivotably coupled to the sled chassis proximate the rear sled portion. A latch barb extends from the latch arm and a distal end portion of the arm includes an actuation tab. The latch arm is pivotable between a latched position where the latch barb is positioned to engage a latch feature of a cubby chassis, thereby preventing removal of the sled chassis from the cubby chassis, and an unlatched position where the latch barb is disengaged from the latch feature of the cubby chassis.

    Abstract: An online system maintains connections among users of that system and allows them to share media information with one another. If multiple socially connected users are viewing the same event and are located in the vicinity of one another, a social camera application executing on each client device of the socially connected users allows these users to capture media information of that event, and a higher quality media content of the event can be generated from the multiple captures of the event. For example, a target user begins a social camera experience and invites other socially connected users in the vicinity to join that experience. These users upload their captures of the event to the online system, which are combined to create a social camera media item of the event with better quality than any of the individual captures taken by a user within the group.

    Abstract: An online system generates dynamically optimized content items composed of creatives selected from a set of creatives provided by a content provider according to a set of rules associated with the creatives. Creatives include the title, image, video, descriptive text and other different types of components. The online system also receives rules describing one or more actions that can be performed on each of the creatives and under what condition for the assembly of the content item. For a target user of the content item, the online system applies the rules to remove creatives that violate the rules. Each creative that satisfies the rules is analyzed and ranked based on the likelihood that the target user will interact with a content item that includes that particular creative. For a different user, a different sponsored content item having different creatives chosen from the same set of creatives is generated.

    Abstract: A method for providing content items to one or more client devices associated with at least one unresolved identifier. An unresolved identifier defines a context in which a client device accesses one or more online systems, the context not determined to be associated with a specific user. The method comprises identifying a set of unresolved identifiers, and identifying information describing one or more access events associated with each unresolved identifier. For each pair of unresolved identifiers, a similarity score for the pair is determined based on the identified information. Responsive to the similarity score exceeding a threshold similarity score, the pair of unresolved identifiers is clustered, the clustering indicating a prediction that the pair of unresolved identifiers are associated with a common user. Based on this clustering, a content item is displayed on or more user devices associated with at least one unresolved identifier of the set of unresolved identifiers.
